You are right, but for the moment, just answering (return) to the "=" prompt will cancel the G command, so it is fairly easy to "get around" this problem. However, I can see that the current behaviour may cause problems inside a macro, since you don't know whether the G command will give a menu or not. So it should probably be changed to always give the "Number of Articles" prompt. The default action in the "no more articles" case could then be "=". -- Kim F.
